Across New Mexico and the rest of the country, distracted driving is contributing to an increasing number of serious collisions. More than 3,000 people are killed annually by distracted motorists nationwide, and many more are seriously injured. We all know that texting and driving can be dangerous, but distracted driving also includes other tasks such as talking with passengers, eating, and even messing with the radio. It is important that you concentrate on the road when operating a motor vehicle, and those who fail to do so should be held responsible in the event of a serious crash.
